Or RISC-V
As much as I glaze RISC-V, its an embedded architecture firstmost. RISC-V gets a more powerful SOC released now and then but theres not massive adoption for general computing like there is for ARM, leading back into the problem of "Why go with RISC-V when ARM is far more mature?". And almost no company is building new assembly lines when 99% of their customers dont give a shit about computing freedom
@lilith267
The hope is that, at some point, mature RISC-V cores are available for much cheaper than a comparable ARM core due to ARM licensing.
